Not fully sure how this works so my appologies right off the bat if I'm not supposed to post in this specific area.
I have just gotten a 1989 mustang lx 5.0 hatch. 5spd. Got it 100% stock.
As of now, I have thrown a cold air intake(sve), 3G alternator upgrade(sve kit), flowmaster 40 series cat back, tokiko struts and shocks and eibach sportlines, and subframe connectors.
Up next I think is an offroad h pipe and maybe 3.55 gears.
Me and my old man are also working on a 1970 mustang 351c 2v... Complete resto and lots of money being dumped into it, but moreover it'll be a weekend cruiser with "decent" power, never going to see the track.
Hence I got the fox, cheap, and in good condition, figured id build a budget stang to have fun in... Again, not looking for 3-400 hp blown foxbody. Im happy with how it is now, just wish it had a bit more power up top(I feel like after 4000 rpm it kinda runs out of steam sort of speak.
A friend had a fox he wrote off, he had full exhaust, e303, upper and lower intake, tb, maf, cai, gears... And stock e7 heads with upgraded valve springs. He never got it dyno'd (not that I know of atleast) and he loved how his car performed. Wasn't a dragster or nothing, but I had been in his car a few times and it seemed to pull quite hard and wasn't lazy by no means...but reading forums here about e303 with stock heads everyone seems to be super against it and saying it's a waste.
My question is, is it truly a waste or somewhat worth it...(especially love the idle sound of an e303)
Sorry for the essay and thanks!
